Last week I received an e-mail from Mike at Hiller Ford, he had purchased 2 brake caliper paint kits with the intention of darkening up our existing blue…

“Hi Guys, received my black and blue caliper paint kits, can I use a plastic syringe to draw the paint from the cans, my intent is to draw 1ml out of the blue and replace it with 1ml of black, stir and check the color, repeating equal amount draws until I achieve the desired dark blue, when I obtain the acceptable shade I will then add the hardner, this should result in the correct ratio, am I missing anything?”

For those of you following along at home, this is a great way to completely customize your brake calipers. You can mix and match brake caliper kits to come up with a color that is all your own. Mike was trying to come up with a slightly darker blue that matched the Ford logo.

Looking at the the pictures below it looks like he did a great job…
